Abstract:
Sponges and swabs were evaluated for their ability to recover Candida auris dried 1 hour on steel and plastic surfaces. Culture recovery ranged from <0.1% (sponges) to 8.4% (swabs), and cells detected with an esterase activity assay revealed >50% recovery (swabs), indicating that cells may enter a viable but nonculturable state.
